I'm looking forward to using Golang. I built my personal website using Hugo and was very pleased with the simplistic nature of Goland. I Will also probably work to use more VIM in my daily editing for easier navigation. Also going to be learning website design, because I can build any feature, but I sure dont know how to make it pretty :'D

Careful with vim, you won't be able to go back to a normal editor.

I am currently a trainee, so learning is essentially all I'm doing at my job. Also, I plan to take the CFA Level I exam in December. While my company does not support this, at least I can access the office on weekends where I have Wifi. If anyone has advice for the CFA exam (or comments on the usefulness of the qualification), I glad for comments!

What are your goals?

What work do you do now?

Why are you posting about an investment finance exam in a tech board?

I'm quite interested in Kotlin and the Kotlin Multiplatform / Native project, I would like to try building a cross platfrom mobile app with it using Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI when it all matures a bit. I've also been watching the Rust hype train for the last two years and wondering when to jump on. I'd also like to finally finish SICP which I never get around to doing and finish a few side projects.

Brushing up on some social skills. Been reading How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. I'd be curious if anyone on here has good recommendations for this area.

On the tech side I'm going to try to develop my python skills a little more. Expand my DevOps knowledge in my current professional stack which will mean Azure DevOps. Perhaps sprinkle in some LeetCode. I don't really want to grind it, but I would like to move someone warm like Florida, and it'll probably be a good idea to study a bit.

I am reading the same two books, lol. I have planned for leetcoding and take up a few classic HN recommendations related to data structures and system design.

I wonder how many people start with this exact combo and then it evaporates after a few months.

I recently read The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker. It's a little less individualistic than Carnegie or Covey but does have some really great concrete ideas about how to get people together.

Might be worth at least skimming if you're interested.
